That’s cool! I didn’t even realize that function was there. I could also use the Share feature to open the page in a web browser.

That’s excellent! That’ll end so much confusion. Thanks for coding this!

Now, I’m just going to dream out loud here:

It’d be awesome if Thunder would let you temporarily load a whole post in anonymous mode. So, you wouldn’t be able to comment or vote or anything, but you’d be able to see comments in cases like this.

It wouldn’t even necessarily need to limited to times where Thunder has detected you’ve blocked the community. It could just always be available as an action in the three-dot menu, although I can’t really imagine why someone would want it otherwise. Then your toast could add, “Consider loading the post anonymously.” Or something.

Alternatively, your message could be static and not a toast, and say the same thing along with “tap here to load the post anonymously.”

Maybe some day I’ll learn how to contribute to Thunder myself.

That’d be great! I’d be surprised if they API doesn’t give a reason for not returning any comments. (Well, maybe not that surprised.)

If a reason is given, it should be shown. It would have saved me from the embarassment of making this post. 😁

I figured it out. See my other comment.

However, it appears that Thunder automatically translated the link to lemmy.world. When I view the comments (or rather when I can’t view them), the community name links to this:

So, was it always Lemmy.world I was viewing? Despite the link I posted? The community does seem to be hosted here.

I figured it out. I have the community blocked. Lemmy is dumb sometimes. Why it will happily show me the post via a direct link, but not any of the comments is beyond me! Not even that comment I specifically requested. Makes no sense. It should show both the post and comments, or neither, and not this in-between, confusing state.

I wish I could say this was the first time this exact issue has happened to me.

I cleared my cache and even turned off my VPN. No comments for me!

Weird.

I’d read your comment, but I can’t because my yellow ink is low.
